IL had been placed there to protect the little station against the predatory bands of Old Cockiss, who every once in a while swooped down ip the valley from the Dragons. With the advent of the railroad, and the abandonment of the stage line. the stage station and the old six poundcr were lost sight of. The Las Cruces Democrat furnishes an account of the whereabouts of the gun, which is like reviving an old friend. It says:
 "When the Las Cruces colspy was first settled the Mexican government presented the colonists with tour pieces of canon to defend themselves against lhs Indians. One of the guns a six pounder, has seen many eventful scenes and travelled long distances over south ern New Mexico and Arizona. Many a trlp has 10 taken over the surrounding mountains and plains, tied to the tail of a freighting wagon.

Para1vzing the Cats.

Excise Commissioner Morris of the old
board lives on West Twenty-first street Four
years ago cats drove people from their homes
in this street by their midnight music. Com
missioner Morris owes the peace of his home
to his son, who is an amateur electrician. He
put q wide board on top of the back fence to
better facilitate cat locomotion. He then ran
six bare telegraph wires along the top of this
board very little distance apart He con-
nected these wires with the strong battery in
the house, and a key, within easy reach, con-
nected the battery with the wires on the
fence.
With darkness the cats came. When g.
few vigorous notes gave indication of a
promislngly loud concert, WettmOre touched
the key. One long, loud yell followed. Four
cats were seen several feet above the fence
paving the air, and all fell down in the yard
quite paralyzed. One by one they got up,
snelled of their paws, murmured a NEW, and
quietly stole away. This was kept up for
several nights, until every cat in the block
had tasted lightning.
Now, whenever a cat finds it necessary to
cross the dangerous path, he first puts paw
gently out upon the wires, and crosses very
slowly, with every muscle wound up for a
spring to the ground at the first suspicion Of

Graveyard Geography.

There have been numerous reasons given TO
account for the fact that the north sides Of
churchyards are so often devoid of graves
In the west of England there is an idea that
the north side was not cOnsecrated, but was
left for playground for the children. Then
some again say it is from the tradition that
Jesus, when dying, turned his head to the
south. Another reason given is that the south
is the sunny side, and the side where the.
church door commonly is placed, and here,
consequently, most people pass. The COM
mOnest reason appears to be that formerly
murderers, accommodated persons, stillborI,
children, etc, were wont to be buried on the
north side, and some rustics say that ghosts
always choose the north side for their pere-
CARNATIONS There is, however, an eccle-
siastical reason. The east is Gods side, where
His throne is set; the west mans side, the
Galilee of the Gentiles; the south, where the
sun shines in its strength, is the side of the
angels and spirits; the north, the devoted re-
gion of satan and his hosts, the lair of demons
and their haunt-Chicago Tribune.

Salt for Cleaning Tobacco Pipes.

yet, but it as sure as death and the tax rate

binary good luck had befallen him, my friend
drew up into the shadow of the Girard house,
and after looking carefully about him.
breathed into my expectant ear the word
"Salt!" [ waited for further explanation,
and it came after my friend had observed.
of course, that his startling announcement had
had time to make the proper impression
Il haven't it patented yet" he said "but its
surely worth it. I'll tell you what it is. While
smoking my favorite clay pipe last week l
noticed that it was pretty strong and l laid
it aside and bought u new one. The idea
struck me that something was needed in the
bottom of the pipe to absorb the oil of thr
tobacco, and without any idea of its worth l
tried pinch of salt. Well, sir, as true as I'm
a Christian, that salt proved to be the very
thing. 1t took 10 all the nicotine, and the
